After a challenging start to the season with upwelling and cooler water temperatures, I’m pleased to report that this week has brought some excellent fishing conditions. In the back bays, we’ve seen a significant uptick in activity, with plenty of small croakers, spot, fluke, and the occasional weakfish making for a great experience with the kids.

Inshore, our local reefs and wrecks have proved to be productive spots. The summer flounder and sea bass are biting well, with numerous shorts and some impressive keepers in the mix. It’s all shaping up to be a great time for targeting these species.

For those venturing further offshore, the mahi-mahi fishing has been outstanding. We’ve been seeing larger fish start to show up, and if the water temperatures continue to rise, we can expect an increase in yellowfin tuna and wahoo in the mix as well.

Looking ahead to September, I have a variety of dates still available for both inshore and offshore trips. Whether you’re aiming to reel in fluke closer to shore or chasing mahi-mahi, tuna, and wahoo further out, there’s plenty of opportunity to secure a great day on the water! Feel free to reach out to book your next fishing adventure.

Thank you,

Captain Jonathan Kelly
